7 Days To Die – Joke Mod

I’m attempting to install a new mod. Darkness Falls was previously in use. I’m now attempting to switch to the Joke mod. I attempted to install the Stable 20.6 + Joke option using the installer in the “Distributions & Mod Packs” section of the server configuration section, and it appeared to install easily and quickly, but upon loading into the server, the admin console was open and scrolling information, and I was unable to close it or even exit out of the game via the Esc menu to bring up the menu.

I forced quit the game and used the installer to install only Stable 20.6 before downloading and uploading the mod zip file from the server configuration section for Joke. The same problem persisted after restarting the server and logging in. I’m at a loss for what to do at this point.

I see that at least one other person has experienced the same problem with their load in, but I believe it is a local game. The screenshot I’m providing is not mine, but it appears to be nearly identical to what I saw. I’ve also opened a support ticket through the website for this issue, but I figured discord would be better for direct communication.

It is impossible for me to play the game because I keep getting errors no matter how I try to install the modification.

this is from a little less than two hours ago prior to my wiping it back to 20.6 and manually installing the mod’s zip file from the mod discord by a support person there.

There are similar noted errors on the server management page’s console log from the joke mod folder locally on my pc I’m using Joke Mod earlier the zip file I used is from the link you all provide to Nexus Mods This time I tried the link https://7daystodiemods.com/joke-mod/ given to me in the tech support channel by one of the admins of the Joke Mod the first time I tried to install it, I used the option provided on the server management page for distributions and mod packs for 20.6 + Joke they all popped the same issue It would be greatly appreciated. I feel like a broken record trying to use their tech support channel, not because I don’t appreciate their efforts, but because they continue to approach it as if I’m playing locally rather than using a hosted server so multiple people can play. I can load this way but not through the launcher, so this will be interesting getting people to install the mod locally.
